Bare Bones Boxing is truly a special place. I’ve been a member for 3 months now and I’m seeing progress in every area from my mindset, stamina, and technique. Huge props to one of the best and baddest instructors in the game...Dwight! Taking his Saturday morning class has taken me to a Whole Nother Level!! That carries into my everyday life. Coach Mike on the mitts is another beast! He’s helped me tap into a level I didn’t even know I had. BBB is my therapy, my church, and my motivational outlet all in one. You leave your stress at the door and lock into the grind of pure sweat and grit. Whether taking a class or mitts session, this is always the highlight of my day. The energy here is LOVE! It’s a gift and a blessing to be a part of a community that pushes you toward GREATNESS. Grateful for my gym home! ❤️🥊🔥
One of our 9 year old twins has been having 1:1 Sessions with Coach Mike. He is helping him find his confidence and pushing him to be his best self. Love seeing him in his element. He is pumped about what comes next. After his 1:1 he is planning to start the kids classes. The energy in the gym always gets us pumped up.
My experience at bare bones has been outstanding. Great community, great guys, great boxing knowledge. They will get you in amazing shape and the best you’ve ever felt. I started working with Mike - a personal boxing coach just a few months ago and have transformed and gotten so much better since then. It’s all on your own time and schedule and Mike can work you around his schedule as well. Overall 10/10 coach great dude and great place.
I first walked into Bare Bones Boxing in Sept 2025 after my son discovered it online. Brady, one of the owners greeted us with such down to earth energy that we instantly felt welcomed. When we came back for our 1st class, Ayaa, at the front desk greeted us with her signature smile and she makes everyone feel valued and seen every time. I was nervous because I was very out of shape, however, our first class was with Anthony and he blew us away. His energy and encouragement was unreal. My son and I were hooked and became members on the spot. Since then, we've fallen in love with the ENTIRE crew of coaches we see regularly [Anthony, Mickey & Dwight] along with the incredible community of members who all lift each other up. Coach Dwight is no joke, and he fires you up like a real life "YouTube Motiversity" video, he is intense, focused and it's impossible not to give your all around him. Mickey has that same fire, his classes push you past your limits and somehow we always leave in a great mood and feel stronger. Huge bonus for me...I've shed some unwanted pounds I've been struggling to get off AND I've gained strength I didn't know I had. This gym has become the highlight of my day. If you're on the fence or feeling intimidated, trust me...I get it...but just show up! As the coaches say, "it's you against you," and every class you take makes you a little better and a little stronger. Bare Bones isn't just a gym, it's a community that transforms you from the inside out. I'm so happy my son discovered this place❣️
